Protein Intake Calculator

How to calculate protein intake?

Protein needs are calculated by multiplying your total body weight in kilograms by a specific coefficient based on your activity level and goals.

Formula: Daily Protein (g) = Weight (kg) × Goal Coefficient

Using the protein calculator: an example

Example for a 75kg individual aiming for muscle gain (2.0g/kg coefficient).

Step-by-step calculation:

• Identify weight: 75kg
• Select goal coefficient: 2.0
• Multiply: 75 × 2.0 = 150g per day

Note: These results are estimates for healthy adults. Individual needs may vary based on health status.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do different goals have different coefficients?

Higher intake (2.0g) supports muscle repair during growth, while lower intake (1.2g) is sufficient for fat loss when calories are restricted.

Is it safe to eat this much protein?

For most healthy individuals, these ranges are considered safe and effective for fitness performance.
